on:

don, to give him call. So Jim went

The invariable dress of every Parsee is
a tall black cap, fully fifteen inches high,
made of pasteboard and covered gener-
ally with waxed cloth; it narrows toward
the top, which looks as if it We're cut off.
The long gray dress is always exactly of
the same make. Even the shirt must be
of a certain cut, with nine seams, and
folded on the breast. Over this is worn

ever appear in public, save during prayer,

agreement or contract is valid if either

Fenimore Cooper on French Face.

In 1897 Fenimore Cooper wrote, while
visiting Paris, the following remarks on
French physiognomy, and the article in
which they appeared has just been ex-
humed and printed in the Paris Journals
THE French face rarely expresses inno-
cence in its perfect purity. Even in child
hood there is a nameless something which
indicates that its celestial soul has come
down to inhabit the earth. In the young
girl of the Gauls you never perceive any
thing other than a modest, amiable,
spiritual and an attractive woman. But
sometimes you may see the angel re-
vcaled in the features of a young English
maiden. l make no allusion to education
nor TO religious sentiments, quite general
enough, in their respective forms, es-
pecially among young people of good
family, here as well as anywhere else.
The main difference on this point is that
in America it is religion which is meta
physics, while in French it is incred-
ulity. New York Star.

The Ganc of ''Eat-Knuppelleu.-

Some of the amusements enjoyed by the
descendants of the "water geuzen'' or
rather barous, and chief among them
stands the play of "Kat-knuppellen." 1t
is to be met with in the hamlets around
Amsterdam. Two poles about sixteen
feet high are placed twenty feet apart; a
new barrel has two holes bored into the
heads, and a rope is put through the holes
and attached to the top of the poles, al
lowing the barrel to swing about twelve
feet from the ground. Before placing
the barrel in this swinging position, q live
cat is put into it. Now the amusement
commences. Twenty or thirty sturdy
boers pay the innkecper-in front of
whose hosiery the "kat-knuppellen'
takes placc-a certain entry fee, gener-
ally five Dutch cents. They take their
position about fifty feet from the swing
ing barrel. armed with clubs shaped

who hits the barrel with such force as to
break it and allow the imprisoned cat to
escape receives half the money paid by
the participants, ard the one who throws
the club with strength sufficient to
cause the last piece of wood to fall from.
the rope is paid half of the remaining
money, the rest going to the tavern
keeper. The terrified cries of the i'm
prisoned cat before escape is possible can
better be imagined than described, and
provides unlimited enjoyment for the
